2011-2012 MILI Participant Expectations

Attendance

1. Participants are required to attend a half-hour monthly webinar.  If live attendance is not possible, archived versions of the webinar must be viewed before the in-person meeting of that same month.
2. Participants are required to attend monthly meetings (meeting dates and times to be determined after initial training days).  One excused absence is allowed.
3. Each week during the school year, participants are required to work one hour, outside the time frame of MILI meetings, on tools, concepts, and ideas introduced.
4. The total amount of time spent on webinars, MILI meetings, and working one hour per week, will total over 70 hours throughout the school year, with 12 of those hours spent in the first two training days.
   

Blogging

1. Participants are required to post one blog post per week or four per month, for a total of 40 blog post on their MILI blog, related to MILI concepts, tools, and ideas. Through blog posts participants express how they are thinking about, using, and analyzing the concepts, tools, and ideas introduced. Additional blog posts on general technology and other topics and opinions are welcome but do not count towards the 40 MILI posts.
   
2. Participants are required to post at least one forum discussion question and reply to at least one forum discussion some time during MILI training.  

Assignments

1. Blog posts are a weekly homework assignment.
   
2. Participants are also required to complete additional assignments, which vary month to month. Participants will use their one hour per week outside of MILI meetings and webinars to complete assignments.

Progress

1. Progress toward meeting MILI requirements will be monitored throughout the year with formal reports on individual progress given to the school district in November, February, and May.
